Google PowerMeter is Free Consumer Electricity Software

Giving people energy usage information can save up to 15% of their energy usage and costs. That reduces climate change. And now consumers have free access to power meter monitoring.

Studies show that simply giving people their energy information can result in energy savings of up to 15%.

Google PowerMeter Features

Google PowerMeter is a free electricity usage monitoring tool that
provides you with information on how much energy your home is
consuming. Google PowerMeter receives information from utility smart
meters and in-home energy management devices and visualizes this
information for you on iGoogle (your personalized Google homepage).
And, Google PowerMeter is free.

Studies show that being able to see your electricity usage in near
real time, throughout the day, makes it easier to reduce it and save
money. This sort of feedback requires either an advanced electricity
meter, a "smart meter," or a consumer-owned electricity management
device, and many of today's smart meters don't display information to
the consumer.

Consumers should have access to data on their personal
electricity use, control who gets to see this data and choose from a
range of services to help them understand and benefit from this data.
